After sophomore defenseman Garrett Noonan’s game-tying goal in the third period of Monday night’s 3-2 overtime loss to No. 3/4 Boston College, the blue-liner’s face flashed on the video board for all of the TD Garden to see. Instead of a gleeful grin or an emotional yell, a celebrating Noonan gritted his teeth and raised his arms, showing a stalwart expression that looked as if he was ready to carry the world on his shoulders if it would help his team win.
Noonan scored both of the No. 2 Boston University men’s hockey team’s goals Monday night. It was a memorable game for a player who grew up in a suburb of Boston, a game that was spoiled only by an overtime goal that rested in the wrong net.
After the game, Noonan was anything but pleased. He was too heartbroken to say much, but what he did say was telling.
“The goals are nice and stuff like that, but I’m just crushed,” a downcast Noonan said moments after the BU loss. “I feel like we could have won that game.”

Only an idiot thinks Noonan is a good player.

It’s Noonan, not Noinan. And you are an idiot, not an idoit. Noonan is the best recruit Parker has gotten in the last 2 years.

No wonder why the team stinks. Parker needs to recruit better.

Last time I checked they are 2 in the country. Not bad for a team that stinks.

If Noinan actually played defense, we might have won.
